I had a coworker make a joke about how my constant need to bring up accessibility is annoying.
Anna a couple of years ago probably would have been depressed about that.
Anna today went “yeah I guess I could be less annoying…buttttt I’m not gonna be ✨”
@annaecook the sublimely correct attitude to have!

@beep @annaecook I feel like there's some analogy with marketing and how people have to hear a message 8-20 times for it to land...
I think you get into their heads as "annoying." Eventually when you're not in the room, they spot a thing and think, "oh, Anna would *hate* that," and this is what success looks like. ❤️

Almost all meaningful personal change begins with discomfort!

@annaecook “Well I get tired of you constantly bringing up Visual Studio too, STEFAN. What, like writing SOFTWARE is your JOB”
@annaecook 🤘✨
@annaecook yes! Proud of you!
@annaecook If they made their job properly, you wouldn't appear annoying to them.
@annaecook Can you also report the micro aggression to HR? 😉
@annaecook "Its annoying to deal with when you don't need it, and vital when you do. Kinda like insurance."
@annaecook ::annoying intensifies:: !!!
"not as annoying as an inaccessible restroom, I've gotta tell you"
